even late spring, truly splendid times to sail It’s Clipper City above and . . following Dewaruci, Clipper City below. But to ensure the vessels are ready, crews dedicate winter

to visiting places like this

for haul-out.

The vessel gets inspected

everywhere, even under the keel.

Wear and tear gets repaired and

and reinspected.

Exactly 90 days from today (April 26, 2013), the 158′ vessel begins season 2013. Clipper City is one of two vessels operated by Manhattan by Sail, the other being Shearwater. Click here for more info on Clipper City, a 1984 replica of a Manitowoc lumber schooner that operated on Lake Michigan between 1854 and 1890 and capable of sailing 115 miles in less than 8 hours.

Navy Fleet Week is right around the corner! My paisons and i could really use a book of International Flags! it does help having friends, we just shout out of the name of the country and sometimes we’re correct!
-The Car show is in March, I once took a friend there who had intermittant
diarrhea, all i saw: the new Sloan Automatic Flushometers, i think i’m too busy for the car show this year

To Walt, save yourself some money. Go to this link: https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/docs/flagsoftheworld.html, and you will find all of the flags of the world. When you open the link, on the bar above the flags where it says References:: FLAGS OF THE WORLD, go to the right at the end of the bar where it says print. Click on that, and if you have a printer, you will get nine pages printed showing all of the flags. That will save you a little money if you don’t want to purchase a book. For a little bonus, these are all of the International Signal Flags and their meanings at this link: http://www.navy.mil/navydata/nav_legacy.asp?id=273. These can be printed also. Have fun.
